24. Steve Nash

Steve Nash is not only one of the greatest passers in league history, but shooters as well.

The reason he is overrated is because he's pretty much all offense. Scorers like Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh have often been a target of criticism because of their focus on the offensive end, but Nash hasn't taken nearly as much heat.

23. Jimmer Fredette

He was forced to do it all down the stretch for BYU and couldn't live up to the hype that was "Jimmer Fredette, unlimited range." Lack of athletic ability and defense will force him to focus on being more of a catch-and-shoot type player in the NBA rather than the scorer he was at BYU.

22. Alexander Ovechkin

Alexander Ovechkin is considered by most to be the most talented player in the NHL. There's no doubting that, but he just hasn't ever put it together when it mattered most.

He's never been able to win a championship and until he does that, there will always be that monkey on his back. The Washington Capitals have been eliminated in the playoffs the last three years in a Game 7 loss.

That's including their first-round collapse last year against the Montreal Canadiens as the No. 1 seed.

21. Jonathan Pabelbon

Jonathan Pabelbon's career couldn't have started off much hotter. He threw the series-clinching strikeout in the 2007 World Series and in 2008 he had the lowest WHIP in baseball history.

His hype was through the roof, but recent events have shown how overrated he was, or at least now is. In the 2009 playoffs, he blew a save in the third game, which led to the Red Sox being swept. In 2010, he had so many blown saves, he's now in danger of losing his job or even getting traded.

19. Ben Roethlisberger

Ben Roethlisberger has won two Super Bowls and is known as one of the game's best closers, but like Tom Brady, he's still overrated.

The Big Ben of Super Bowl XL was arguably the worst quarterback to win a title ever—yeah, even possibly worse than Trent Dilfer. Obviously, he's vastly improved and he led the Steelers to a magical game-winning drive in Super Bowl XLIII, but it's impossible to argue that Troy Polomalu and that unbelievable Pittsburgh defense wasn't the heart and soul of those teams.

17. Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk Nowitzki is arguably the greatest shooting big man in league history, but he's never won a championship.

Like his old teammate Steve Nash, he's an elite offensive talent, but is lacking on the defensive side of the court. It seems like every year the Mavericks look like a championship contender in the regular season, but then choke come playoff time.

16. Brian Urlacher

In a 2006 player poll for who was the most overrated player in the NFL, Brian Urlacher finished second only behind Terrell Owens.

He was named to the NFL's all-decade team and is the Chicago Bears' all-time tackles leader on a franchise that boasts linebackers Dick Butkus and Mike Singletary.

When NFL scouts were polled by Sporting News on who they believed was the most overrated linebacker and player overall, Urlacher's name came up early and often. The scouts didn't deny that Urlacher was a great talent, but just that his hype far outweighed his production.

11. Maria Sharapova

10. Joba Chamberlain

He's playing in New York City, the Big Apple. Everyone is overrated on the Yankees, and I'm a Yankees fan.

The hype Joba Chamberlain received in that market was incredible and it's just so hard to live up to those types of expectations. He's a good pitcher, and still has the potential to be great, but he's arguably the most overrated player in all of baseball.
